    Limited Slip Recommendations

    For the second time in fewer years I am spinning my inside wheel on corner exit. More on left-handers than rights, but that must be me.

    So I am again in the market for a new Ltd Slip Diff. Otherwise I'm going to go with a Detroit Locker like what was on the car when I bought it.

    Any advice/thoughts on an LSD for my 3rd Gen?

    If you like driving a loose car and want it predictible in both directions and instant feel....do NOT use a torsen. I'd recommend an eaton std or HD. I have had a standard in my car since 2001...pulled it apart this offseason and it's perfect. It's also cheaper than a T2R and can be found on ebay in the sub 350 range.

    Several threads on various F-Car forums about recently purchased T2Rs cracking cases.

    I have one.

    I have one.

    I put a new T2R in the 17 a few months before selling it. They are pricey but mine worked great. I read that problems had just started a few months prior to my purchase.

    The 55 has "FMS rear locker diff" (whatever that is, it's what Tony called it in the sales add) and at ECR in the rain I thought it was gone but in the dry it feels like it's working okay.

    I'm wondering if it's HP related.

    The cracked one I have has about 5K miles on it and came out of a 400HP open road race car.

    I picked up an old T2R that was worn out. I'm hoping to get the case from the old and insert the guts from the newer one.

    I haven't heard anything about them cracking. Mines only got 6 or 8 events on it but it's fine so far. I first had an Auburn which started inside wheel spinning at about it's 3rd or 4th event before the T2R.

    Matt's issue seems to be performance related. Any info on that?
